This is the part that trips me up. If this universe can be modeled as a collective living system, it seems that life here on earth are like involuntary organs in the scheme of things. Like you say cilia. But can the cilia form a conscious contact with this "brain?" I hope we have a better chance than the cilia in our bodies.

straying from the topic a bit, but trying to apply this system a bit.

I've been watching some series called steven hawking's universe, and these people are trying to figure out the origins and fate of the universe. But there are all these roadblocks presenting themselves, and they have been forced to deal with something they call dark matter which would have to account for something like 99% of the matter in the universe to allow our physics to work. If the matter that we are accustomed to dealing with barely registers, I feel sorry for these guys.

Well they figured out the big bang, but like you said that's just the beginning. The current stage of life this system is in is much more complex. I guess in order to piece our bodies or our system together from the big bang that started us would require some DNA. Well good luck finding the "DNA" of the universe if we are oblivious to most of it.

I've also been reading some of the don Juan books, and have found them to be excellent. I don't understand all of it, but when some of it starts to click, I can see this guy is for real or Castaneda was a genius. If there is any way to connect to this "brain," I feel don Juan was very much qualified. And that's exactly what it is. A feeling; which is what a lot of his knowledge rests upon.

This chart shows the limitations of reason which we are using to figure out the universe.



I can barely comprehend a practical application of this. I think we will remain cilia until we can break free of reason. It took us this long to feel comfortable using reason to describe our world, and now it has a stronghold. Along with its benefits come limitations that will surely be realized by all those physicists.
